I don't remember ever hearing Summer Madness by Kool and the Gang - great song.
Thanks for posting.

aww, i thought this was gonna be like a speculation thread about what this summer's song would be.

oddly enough, my driving/summer song is "Groove is in the Heart." It just reminds me of one of the most memorable summers of my life

From Rattus Norvegicus, 1976…


[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aI9k06dGpg&fmt=18"]Peaches The Stranglers[/ame]


'Strolling along, minding my own business/Well, there goes a girl and a half/She’s got me going up and down/She’s got me going up and down…/Walking on the beaches, looking at the peaches…/Well, I got a notion, Girl, that you got some suntan lotion in that bottle of yours/Spread it all over my peeling skin, Baby/That feels real good…/All this skirt, lapping up the sun/Lap me up/Why don’t you come on/And lap me up?…/Walking on the beaches, looking at the peaches…/Well, there goes another one, just lying down on the sand dunes/I’d better go take a swim and see if I can cool down a little bit/Cos you and me. Woman, we got a lot of things on our minds, you know what I mean…/Walking on the beaches, looking at the peaches…/Will you just take a look over there <Where?> There/Is she trying to get out of that « clitares » ?/Liberation for women, that’s what I preach <Preacher man>…/Walking on the beaches, looking at the peaches…/Oh, Shit/There goes the « charabanc » /Looks like I’m gonna be stuck here the whole summer/Well, what a bummer…/I can think of a lot worse places to be/Like down in the streets/Or down in the sewer/Or even on the end of a skewer…'

Demo version, recorded in Wales, 1975…

Just one more, from Dreamtime, 1986…


[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qR550eGK0DA&fmt=18"]Always the Sun The Stranglers[/ame]


'How many times have you woken up and prayed for the rain?/How many times have you seen the papers apportion the blame?/Who gets to say, who gets to work and who gets to play?/I was always told at school, everybody should get the same…/How many times have you been told, if you don't ask you don't get?/How many lads have taken your money, your mother said you shouldn't bet?/Who has the fun, is it always the man with the gun?/Someone must have told him, if you work too hard you could sweat…/There's always the sun <Always the sun>/There's always the sun <Always the sun>/Always, always, always the sun…/How many times have the weathermen told you stories that made you laugh?/You know, it's not unlike the politicians and the leaders, when they do things by half/Who gets the job, of pushing the knob/That sort of responsibility you draw straws for if you're mad enough…/There's always the sun <Always the sun>/There's always the sun <Always the sun>/Always, always, always the sun…'

Live on The Roland Rat Show, 1987…
